PXL8 Powders uses a patent‑pending encapsulation platform to convert liquid ingredients into free‑flowing, shelf‑stable powders without heat, solvents, or water, preserving 100% of the original potency. The resulting powders incorporate a natural mineral carrier, offering customizable release profiles, flavor masking, color control, and extended shelf life, which simplifies storage, logistics, and precise dosing for food, beverage, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical applications.

Problem
Many high-value liquid ingredients used in food, wellness, and pharmaceutical products are fragile, volatile, and expensive to handle because they require specialized storage, packaging, and processing. Traditional powderization methods such as spray‑drying rely on heat, solvents, and high‑glycemic fillers, causing up to 30% loss of active material, reduced potency, and shorter shelf life.
Solution
PXL8 Powders applies a patent‑pending encapsulation platform that converts liquid ingredients into free‑flowing, shelf‑stable powders without heat, solvents, or water. The process binds the active liquid to a natural mineral carrier, eliminating the need for sugar‑based fillers like maltodextrin. Resulting powders retain the full potency of the original ingredient, offer customizable release profiles (fast or slow), and provide built‑in flavor masking, color control, and extended shelf life. These powders are easier to store, ship, and dose, enabling integration into ready‑to‑mix drink powders, baking mixes, chewing gums, oral pouches, and other consumer formats. The technology also reduces material waste and lowers the environmental and cost footprint of ingredient manufacturing.
Target Audience
Primary customers are food and beverage manufacturers, nutraceutical formulators, and pharmaceutical companies that need stable, high‑performance powdered forms of liquid actives for consumer and clinical products.
